The Dyirbal Language of North Queensland

Originally published in 1972, this study is dedicated to the surviving speakers of the Dyirbal, Giramay and Mamu dialects. For more than ten thousand years they lived in harmony with each other and with their environment. Over one hundred years ago many of them were shot and poisoned by European invaders. In the last decade they have seen their remaining forests taken and cleared by an American company.Dixon, R. M.
